commit 57ea52a865144aedbcd619ee0081155e658b6f7d upstream.

The GRO fast path caches the frag0 address.  This address becomes
invalid if frag0 is modified by pskb_may_pull or its variants.
So whenever that happens we must disable the frag0 optimization.

This is usually done through the combination of gro_header_hard
and gro_header_slow, however, the IPv6 extension header path did
the pulling directly and would continue to use the GRO fast path
incorrectly.

This patch fixes it by disabling the fast path when we enter the
IPv6 extension header path.

Fixes: 78a478d0efd9 ("gro: Inline skb_gro_header and cache frag0 virtual address")

pointless unless af_packet calls the new function.

[ Upstream commit 2793a23aacbd754dbbb5cb75093deb7e4103bace ]

Netdevice parameter hard_header_len is variously interpreted both as
an upper and lower bound on link layer header length. The field is
used as upper bound when reserving room at allocation, as lower bound
when validating user input in PF_PACKET.

Clarify the definition to be maximum header length. For validation
of untrusted headers, add an optional validate member to header_ops.

Allow bypassing of validation by passing CAP_SYS_RAWIO, for instance
for deliberate testing of corrupt input. In this case, pad trailing
bytes, as some device drivers expect completely initialized headers.

<title>tunnels: Don't apply GRO to multiple layers of encapsulation.</title>

commit fac8e0f579695a3ecbc4d3cac369139d7f819971 upstream.

When drivers express support for TSO of encapsulated packets, they
only mean that they can do it for one layer of encapsulation.
Supporting additional levels would mean updating, at a minimum,
more IP length fields and they are unaware of this.

No encapsulation device expresses support for handling offloaded
encapsulated packets, so we won't generate these types of frames
in the transmit path. However, GRO doesn't have a check for
multiple levels of encapsulation and will attempt to build them.

UDP tunnel GRO actually does prevent this situation but it only
handles multiple UDP tunnels stacked on top of each other. This
generalizes that solution to prevent any kind of tunnel stacking
that would cause problems.

<title>ipv6: protect skb-&gt;sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack</title>

<content type='text'>
commit f60e5990d9c1424af9dbca60a23ba2a1c7c1ce90 upstream.

We should not consult skb-&gt;sk for output decisions in xmit recursion
levels &gt; 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence
the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process.

ipv6 does not conform with this in three places:

1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size

2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb-&gt;sk and checks if we should
   loop the packet back to the local socket

3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and
   force a wrong MTU

Furthermore:
In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a
PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device.

Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting
tunnel devices.

Joseph Gasparakis reported that VXLAN GSO offload stopped working with
i40e device after recent UDP changes. The problem is that the
SKB_GSO_* bits are out of sync with the corresponding NETIF flags. This
patch fixes that. Also, we add BUILD_BUG_ONs in net_gso_ok for several
GSO constants that were missing to avoid the problem in the future.

This change provides a function to be used in order to break the
ndo_set_rx_mode call into a set of address add and remove calls.  The code
is based on the implementation of dev_uc_sync/dev_mc_sync.  Since they
essentially do the same thing but with only one dev I simply named my
functions __dev_uc_sync/__dev_mc_sync.

I also implemented an unsync version of the functions as well to allow for
cleanup on close.

Several cases of overlapping changes.

The xfrm6_output.c has a bug fix which overlaps the renaming

In the Altera TSE driver cases, the register access cleanups
in net-next overlapped with bug fixes done in net.

Similarly a bug fix to send ALB packets in the bonding driver using
the right source address overlaps with cleanups in net-next.
